Indoor Rock Climbing Techniques : How to Perform a Heel Hook for Indoor Rock Climbing

[leonavis]

You're doing it all wrong. Hard hook, and you're heel will come out of the shoe. You have to put pressure on it by stretching your feet so your feet and your leg almost build a line. What you are doing is trusting the shoe to do the work. That'll work only, if you're climbing easy routs.

[aliceae]

thanks for the great info. I hope to be at this level one day

[LanaVlogs]

Poor thing, he looks like he is about to faint. I love the satisfied sight at the end, it's like "I did it"

[mrbikerider27]

smoke some weed homie

[canttouchdazz]

And also bat hook? Wtf? Its called a toe hook?

[ZraxTheBigStuff]

@canttouchdazz I think its called a bat hook when you use both your toes to hook yourself upside down... and a toe hook is when you use just one foot to hook yourself for a bit of balance... that is just what I think :)

[canttouchdazz]

Can those shoes actually hook? Haha

[jeffreyyth]

chill out danny haha

[skittle68]

I'm only 5' tall, so I frequently have to dyno on harder climbs. When I dyno, I like to lean against the rope just to steady myself before I leap. My bf thinks this is "cheating" and drops me a few inches when I put any pressure on the rope. If the holds aren't great (it isn't always a spot where you are supposed to need to dyno), and that is the only way I can get up the wall, then what is the problem?? I'm trying to get better by doing harder climbs, and sometimes when you're moving up, you h

[thegibsonfromhell]

@skittle68 For practice, sure, do whatever you need to do to improve. But, in my book, you can never claim to have free climbed anything if you use the rope to get up. Using the rope and your pro to ascend is aid climbing, no matter how little you do it.

[alibarnes94]

That green hold looks like a penis.

[maradalmatin]

[promqueensdead]

HI GUYS!! i start out brimming with confidence then fade out to a stuttering idiot

[TheJohnsonsCrew]

good climber...but does anyone else notice how this guy is always distracted by something....or he is nervious.......maybe the cheerleading squad is prctising behind the camera...lol

he is a good climber though

[yootubematt]

Where is this course? I'm at mississippi state, and we have a really fun course with a butt load of hard routs.

[Sn0wFreak]

everyone is so rude fuking haters and he is a good climber actually

[rebe12354]

i was told rock climbing is mostly about your legs?? I think rock climbing is mostly about using your legs. I think when you get into really hard vertical stuff you need some upper body though.

[laxfreak2828]

i think its mostly core and upper body

[huyiy]

back side of my hill.. the hill hook!

[mnutt12]

what a turd!

[Trendkillertrendy]

how is your memory so good that you remember your dad saying that when your mother birthed you into the sump pump hole?

[TQCKyle]

Nice run-on sentence.

[Trendkillertrendy]

grammar nazi'ism is the weakest form of faggotry on the intarnet; an undeniable fact shared by the quality community at large. You make the situation even sadder by doing it on the full comment display mode of an obscure video too.

delete your youtube account plz

[TQCKyle]

Delete these nuts in your mouth.

[Trendkillertrendy]

lol that's all you got? well then....

Okay, deez nuts it is, but first let me get my time machine and go back to 1993 so that what you just said would be cool.

Stop listening to Dr. Dre before you end up on Springer you ungodly wigger

[jimemarsden]

@Trendkillertrendy He obviously doesn't care about arguing on the internet, where as you take pride in posting comments and give it everything you've got. Who is the more mature one here?

[Trendkillertrendy]

You know nothing of the entire situation, which goes beyond this video alone. But you wanted to get in on action that has been dead longer than four months, so you thought that making assumptions was an awesome idea.

By the way, a few sentences takes the average human no more than a few seconds. If you think a few lines is "giving it all you got" then you are far too easily impressed.

Using a voice to text iPhone app while taking a shit on break takes even less time.

[danielwa2]

BUDS 2009 for me. !!!!

[daveymich]

this guy is a crap climber

[adamisuber]

In another video he does a 1.5 metre dyno onto a sloper on a vertical wall. He's not bad :/

[gremlindude10]

why is it all of expert village's videos are always fragmented into really short clips when they could just do it in one or two?

[ricpooley9]

Its split into smaller fragments so you can easily find the bit your interested in. much better this way, if like me, your just starting out climbing

[F1X0R121]

Nope. Close but no cigar, notice that they have ads. The more ads they have the more they get. The more videos you get, the more ads you can have.

[jaenadar]

@gremlindude10 perhaps they get paid per clip and not per minute :-P

[BeachMan2007]

Hi danny!!! ahahah

[Laardipallo]

i agree. this is cool.

[philytheking]

that is cool!!!!!!!!!!

[LaLaLaflobble]

I love the secure feeling you get with a Heel hook or leg bar. The legs just offer such a solid base!
